As a fun discussion topic, about how many Apostles do we think Guts killed during his Black Swordsman period? That is to say before he returned to Godot’s shop to discover Casca missing? We know for sure of several:
-The Pig Apostle
-The Succubus Apostle (who killed Corkus)
-The Cobra Apostle
-The Count
-Roshine
But both the Cobra Apostle and the Count had heard rumors of the Black Swordsman hunting apostles. This implies a lot more in between the pig apostle and the Cobra offscreen. The problem is, these fights usually take a lot out of Guts. Broken bones, a ton of blood loss, etc. But before the Cobra, Guts didn’t have Puck as a companion to heal him in between bouts. So I feel like the number was limited to some degree. Or maybe he was just hunting weak ones like the Chicken Apostle before moving up to the tougher guys. Thoughts?
